IBM Bequeaths the Express Framework to the Node.js Foundation

The Node.js Foundation has taken the Express Node.js framework under its wing. Express will be a new incubation project for the Foundation. IBM, whichpurchased Express maintainer StrongLoop last September, is contributing the code.

âExpress will function as itâs own separate entity; similar to how the Node.js Foundation supports Node.js through open governance with a technical steering committee, mentors and contributors that will in effect support the framework,â wrote Mikeal Rogers, community manager of the Node.js Foundation, in an email.
